All,  I wrote Zenith on this very subject.  See the answer Attached below.   

Regards,  Brad  

  

 	  Quote: 	
		   Zenith, I bought my kit in 2000. I am assembling the  

 'Rear Fuselage Lower skin -- 8F2-3A' which is 0.016 in thickness.  

 This seems extremely thin for the purpose.  

 Has there been an upgrade to thicker material on the latest revisions?  

  

 I am concerned that the thin skin with few supports will oilcan. Any  

 problems with this?  

  

 If so, can I replace with .025 --or-- add 'L's to arrest the oil  

 canning?   

ANSWER FROM ZENITH:   
	


Ref. 8F2-3A there is no change to the part, 6061-T6 material thickness  

t=.016"   

There would be no problem replacing the skin with t=.025"  

If you are still concerned about oil canning than you could also add L  

angles like on the side skins.
